Penelitian lanjutan disarankan melibatkan pendekatan interdisipliner untuk mengevaluasi dampak kebisingan terhadap kesehatan masyarakat secara langsung.

The rapid development of information and communication technology has transformed the way people access information, interact, and live their daily lives. In this regard, students from the Mathematics Education Study Program at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra conducted "Smart Socialization" during a community service activity in Jaharun A Village, Galang District. The main objective of this community service activity was to increase awareness and understanding among residents of Jaharun A Village, Galang District, regarding the importance of digital literacy in facing the challenges of AI-based disinformation on social media. The implementation methods included initial observation, outreach, and interviews. The results of this activity indicated high community enthusiasm, active participation, and a better understanding of how to use social media wisely and responsibly. This activity successfully built critical public awareness of the importance of verifying information before sharing it and increased local community preparedness for the complex digital information era. This activity is expected to become a model for applicable and sustainable digital literacy education in rural areas.

This study discusses the phenomenon of language interference on the Instagram account of public figure Cinta Laura Kiehl. Language interference is a language phenomenon characterized by the entry of elements from one language into another language commonly used by bilingual or multilingual speakers. In this context, the interference of Indonesian and English on Cinta Laura's Instagram account is interesting to study because of its consistent and striking use in various uploads and digital interactions. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a content analysis method on data in the form of image captions uploaded by Cinta Laura at a certain time. The results of the study show that the interference that appears can be classified into several linguistic levels, namely lexical, morphological, syntactic, and semantic levels. Lexical interference appears in the use of English vocabulary in Indonesian sentences. Meanwhile, morphological interference is seen from the structure of mixed word formation that does not comply with the rules in Indonesian. Syntactic interference appears in the form of sentence structures that follow the structure of English. Factors that cause interference include the speaker's bilingual background, the habit of using foreign languages ​​in everyday life, the influence of an international social environment, and expressive and modern communication styles on social media. This study shows that interference in the context of social media is not merely a form of language deviation, but can also be seen as part of the construction of self-identity and digital communication strategies. These findings are expected to contribute to contemporary sociolinguistic studies and enrich understanding of the dynamics of language use in digital public spaces.

The focus of this study is to analyze how the position and role of farming communities contribute to increasing community income in Alkani Village, Wewiku Subdistrict, Malaka Regency. Using a qualitative research method covering research accuracy, focus, data sources, data collection techniques, and data analysis the study describes how farmer groups function as a platform for sharing agricultural information and improving economic outcomes. Findings show that these groups actively facilitate knowledge exchange by introducing modern technologies such as tractors and drip-irrigation systems, and by promoting digital marketing to expand market access. Farmer groups in Alkani Village also serve as regular discussion forums, holding monthly or needs-based meetings where members communicate, share experiences, and address agricultural challenges together. Through training, cooperation, and collective learning, farmer groups operate not only as centers for education but also as agricultural production units that strengthen the local farming sector. Their role in collaboration enhances solidarity among farmers, enabling them to support one another and work more efficiently. As a result, these groups significantly contribute to increasing farmers’ income and improving overall welfare. The study concludes that strengthening farmer groups is essential, recommending continued enhancement of training access, administrative capacity, and active participation from all members to ensure equitable benefits.

Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD) serves as a vital instrument in supporting regional independence and public welfare. For decades, the Land and Building Tax (PBB) has been one of the primary sources of local revenue; however, excessive dependence on PBB is considered less effective in promoting equitable economic development and enhancing citizens’ economic rights. Forcing PBB increases of hundreds of percent, as has recently occurred in a number of regions such as Pati Regency, Central Java, and dozens of other regions amid the current difficult economic situation, has invited criticism and protests. This policy has been accused of violating human rights. For this reason this study aims to analyze the urgency of exploring alternative local revenue sources beyond PBB, such as local taxes, public service retributions, management of regional assets, and innovative revenue models based on local potential. The research uses a qualitative approach through literature review and fiscal policy analysis at the regional level. The findings indicate that diversification of local revenue sources can strengthen regional fiscal capacity, improve public service delivery, and foster broader community economic participation. By sustainably and transparently developing local potential, local governments can not only enhance community welfare but also uphold the principle of economic justice as mandated by the Constitution. Therefore, optimizing local revenue sources beyond PBB represents a strategic step toward inclusive and equitable regional economic independence.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of public relations management in building school-community relations at SDN 1 Mangli. The research highlights the importance of community involvement as a strategic partner in improving the quality of basic education. The theoretical framework is based on the Excellence Theory, community participation theory, and two-way symmetrical communication relevant to the school’s public relations role. The study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving the principal, teachers, school committee, and parents through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the Miles & Huberman interactive model.The findings indicate that SDN 1 Mangli has implemented public relations management strategically—not only administratively—but also as a means to foster communication, enhance community participation, and strengthen the school’s positive image. However, challenges remain, including the dominance of one-way communication, limited use of digital media, and the absence of measurable evaluation indicators. This research reveals that elementary schools can adopt modern public relations principles. The study implies the need to strengthen two-way symmetrical communication, optimize digital media utilization, and develop measurable evaluation indicators for school public relations programs.

This study aims to analyze the role of digitalization in driving social development in Indonesia through the perspective of development sociology. Digitalization has become a major force transforming social structures, values, and interaction patterns in societies worldwide. The results show that digital technology contributes significantly to increased social participation, economic empowerment, and equitable access to information. However, on the other hand, challenges arise in the form of a digital divide between urban and rural communities that can deepen social inequality. In the context of development sociology, digitalization is not only viewed as a technological process, but also as a social phenomenon that influences the dynamics of community life. Therefore, digital-based development must be directed inclusively so that all levels of society receive equal benefits. The government, educational institutions, and the community need to synergize in strengthening digital literacy and maintaining socio-cultural values ​​amidst the current of technological globalization. With a fair and participatory approach, digitalization can be an important means of strengthening social solidarity and realizing shared prosperity.

Although often overlooked by society, mental health is a crucial component of overall health. One of the biggest barriers to managing mental health is the societal stigma associated with People with Mental Disorders (ODGJ). High stigma can lead to negative perceptions that hinder the healing process of those suffering from mental illness. The purpose of this study was to determine how societal perceptions of individuals with mental illness in Cot Rumpun Village, Aceh Besar Regency, relate to societal stigma. This study used a cross-sectional methodology and a descriptive analysis design. Seventy respondents were selected for the study sample using a direct random selection method. The Community Attitudes Against Mentally Ill (CAMI) questionnaire measured public sentiment, and the Perception of Discrimination and Devaluation (PDD) questionnaire measured stigma. Chi-square tests were used in univariate and bivariate data analysis. The majority of respondents expressed positive attitudes toward those with mental health problems (60.0%), while low stigma toward those with mental disorders (54.3%). The results of the Chi-Square test indicate a significant relationship between community stigma and community attitudes towards people with mental disorders (ODGJ) with a value of ρ = 0.000 (ρ <0.05). Health workers are expected to conduct routine counseling and psychoeducation to the community about mental health, including how to deal with, support people with mental disorders appropriately, reducing stigma in the community environment. Local governments and community leaders are also expected to play an active role in creating an inclusive, supportive, discrimination-free social environment for people with mental disorders (ODGJ).

Diabetes Mellitus is a common non-communicable disease in the community and is now a global health problem with prevalence rates that continue to increase every year. Age and gender are thought to play a role in influencing the incidence of diabetes mellitus. This study aims to analyze the relationship between age and gender with the incidence of diabetes mellitus in the community in the Jaya Baru Health Center Work Area, Banda Aceh. The research design used was analytical with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study amounted to 552 people, with a sample of 85 respondents obtained through the Proportional Random Sampling technique. The study was conducted in the Jaya Baru Health Center Work Area, Banda Aceh from May 3 to 15, 2025. Data analysis was carried out univariately and bivariately using the chi-square test. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires and random blood sugar level examinations. The results of the study showed a significant relationship between age and the incidence of diabetes mellitus (ρ-Value = 0.008), and there was no significant relationship between gender and the incidence of diabetes mellitus (ρ-Value = 0.650). In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between age and the incidence of diabetes mellitus, but there is no significant relationship between gender and the incidence of diabetes mellitus in the community in the Working Area of ​​the Jaya Baru Banda Aceh Health Center. It is hoped that the community will increase awareness of the importance of regular health checks, especially individuals in the at-risk age group and the more vulnerable gender.

This study aims to measure the Community Satisfaction Index  for PT INALUM's CSR program in Kuala Tanjung Village, Batu Bara Regency, North Sumatra Province. The Hikayat Si Kuta program serves as an evaluation instrument and basis for sustainable planning, which contributes significantly to improving the community's quality of life through an integrated program of education, training, and local capacity building. The research approach uses a quantitative method by distributing a Community Satisfaction Index questionnaire to program recipients. The study results show high satisfaction scores in most aspects, but there are critical challenges in the program's independence and sustainability, indicating potential dependency. This is because one of the programs has only been running for 1-2 years, so in the early stages the impact of its independence is not yet clearly visible. These findings confirm that corporate social responsibility (CSR) has had a tangible impact, but strategies are still needed to strengthen the program's social resilience. This article recommends the development of a roadmap for strengthening the capacity of assisted groups so that the implementation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs can have a more sustainable and inclusive impact.

Indonesia’s diversity in ethnicity, culture, religion, and language demands an approach that can simultaneously address intellectual, spiritual, and national dimensions. The integration of philosophy, Pancasila, and theology becomes essential in responding to this complex reality. Philosophy strengthens critical and reflective thinking, helping individuals interpret differences with awareness and avoid hasty judgments, which is crucial in reducing social tension and fostering dialogue. Pancasila, as the nation’s ideological foundation, provides an ethical-political framework that guarantees unity, freedom, and justice for all citizens regardless of background. Theology complements these foundations by offering transcendental ethics and spiritual guidance that shape compassionate attitudes toward others and the environment. A contextual and inclusive theological perspective supports religion’s role as a source of enlightenment and encourages interfaith solidarity in a pluralistic society. When these three elements are integrated into education, public policy, and social culture, they help form a society that is intellectually critical, socially inclusive, and spiritually resilient. Core values such as empathy, justice, equality, and shared responsibility can develop more strongly in daily interactions. Although challenges such as identity crises, misinformation, and online intolerance remain, collaboration between the state and civil society is needed to maintain an inclusive public sphere. Through strengthening philosophical education, deepening appreciation of Pancasila, and advancing contextual theology, Indonesia can build a just and harmonious society.

This study aims to analyze the role of mass media in influencing the escalation of social conflict in society. Mass media, both conventional and digital, have significant power in shaping public opinion and influencing public perceptions of sensitive social issues. In the context of Indonesia's pluralistic society, non-objective and provocative reporting can accelerate the rise of social tensions and exacerbate intergroup conflict. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a literature review method, drawing on sources from various scientific journals, books, and previous research reports. The results indicate that media can act as both a trigger and a mitigator of conflict, depending on how information is presented to the public. Media that prioritizes the principles of peace journalism can help create cross-group communication, foster empathy, and strengthen social solidarity. Conversely, biased and sensational media can exacerbate differences and lead to social disintegration. Therefore, media practitioners require moral responsibility, professional ethics, and social awareness to ensure their function remains oriented toward truth, justice, and peace. Thus, mass media holds a strategic position in building social harmony amidst the diversity of Indonesian society.
